} Friday, September 26, 1924 x SEATTLE RAG 10 BE PUT ON TRIAL Girl Was Worked Eleven Hours in Day SEATTLE, Sept. 25.—Six jurymen will decide Oct. 9 whether William Randolph Hearst’s non-union Seattle daily is within the law in working women linotype operators 11.hours a day. The Post-Intelligencer, which has been operating non-union for over three months because of its refusal to sign the typo contract agreed to by ali other Seattle dailies, is charged with violating the women’s 8-hour law of Washington in the cage of Lillian ‘Wilson who was worked 11 hours one day last June. Oh, Piffle. The Hearst daily admits the long shift but pleads that a newspaper is not a “mechanical establisHiment” and therefore not within the scope of the 8-hour law. Its lawyer gravely plead- ed in preliminary hearing that the Hearst sheét is not a mechanical but an educational and informative insti- tution. Justice Dalton will let a jury pass on this cultural plea. The Washington attorney general is making it a test case. : French Society Urges Recognition of Soviet Russia (By Rosta.) MOSCOW, Aug. 29. (by mail.)—The society of New Franco-Russian Friendship has elected Mr. Herriot as honorary president of the society. In his congratulatory message, the: soci- ety lays before the French premier the society’s resolution on the neces- sity of settling without delay the ques- tion of the restoration of relations between France and the Union of So- viet Socialist Republics. This resolu- tion further urges that this step be done in the only form which is pos- sible at the present time, namely de jure recognition, as was done by Eng- and and Italy. In another statement, issued by the society, the latter sharply criticizes the ‘anti-Soviet policy of Rumania in Bessarabia, pointing out that the ter- ror practised by the local Rumanian authorities has provoked hatred against that country among the Bes- sarabian population yearning to join the Union of Soivet Republics. “The peace of Europe,” the society declares, “depends on the pacification of east- ern Europe, and that is impossible without agreement with the U.S.S.R.” WANTED—Comrades, men and wom: en, earn extra money, spare time, send stamp for particulars.

WISE Yoster’s name will be placed side by ;talism from Samuel Gompers and his ‘EATURED on the first page of thc Federation News of Sept. 13, thc successor to the New Majority since | the return»to the Gompers’ camp ot the once irreconciliable Fitzpatrick and Nockels of the Chicago Federa- tion of Labor—is an attack on Will- iam Z. Foster and the Workers (Com-| munist) Party of America, to which the name of Joseph A. Wise is at- tached. The article can be divided into two parts—one accusing William Z. Fos- ter and the Workers (Communist) Par- ty of aiding and abetting the election campaign of Charles G. Dawes and his followers and in general, disrupt- ing the labor movement, the other in- ferring that the printing plant and headquarters of the Workers (Com- munist) Party are the property of William Z. Foster and that the money to pay for the same came from some source other than the supporters of the Communists in the United States. To dispose of the first criticism, it is enough to say that the Communists know there is no difference between capitalist politicians, so‘ far as the working class is concerned, on the slate of one or the other of the two capitalist parties. The Communists stand for a class party of the work- ers and farmers; their efforts for the last two years have been devoted to building such a party and they con- sider the support of capitalist politi- cians, no matter what their promises, as outright betrayal of the interests of the working class. This was their Position in the election which result- ed in the return of the injunction judge, Dennis Sullivan, td office. Regarding the second question rais- ed by Joseph A. Wise—the DAILY WORKER printing plant and the own- ership thereof—it is only necessary to cite the fact that $71,000 was rais- ed by the Workers (Communist) Par- ty of America for the purpose of es- tablishing a daily paper in a campaign that lasted for months, the itemized receipts of which were published weekly in the Weekly Worker, the forerunner of the daily. Inasmuch as Joseph A. Wise is an employe—a linotype operator of the DAILY WORKER Publishing Com- pany, and has been such since the plant began operations, he doubt- less, familiar with these facts which he chose, for purposes obvious in his article, to ignore. The charges made by Joseph A. Wise are serious ones. He speaks of the “illogical, jesuitical reasoning of a Communist”; he characterizes as “futile webs of sophistry” the state- ments of William Z. Foster publish- ed on page one of the Aug. 80th issue of the DAILY WORKER; he calls Foster the “greatest mountebank, charlatan and faker that ever raised his voice in the halls of the Ameri- can labor movement”; he brands as “intellectual renegade Americans” cer- tain other members of the Workers (Communist) Party whom he dves not name; he is certain, he says, that OUR DAILY PATTERNS A SIMPLE SCHOOL OR HOME FROCK 4874, Chintz in a pretty pattern of red and brown was used for this model.

WORKER, 4113 MSE RS iting ty ork fin of pat n cep & a e BALL Wo) cy take Hy ‘east ide- with that of Benedict Arnold, It Joseph A, Wise, the “lowly rank ind file trade unionist” who boasts ot his enlistment in the army that nade the world safe for the House of Morgan with the aid of Brigadier-Gen- eral Charles G. Dawes, his brother-in- arms, is 80 concerned about the in- iquitious role played by the Commun- ists, the ‘question arises concerning the assistance rendered by him in spreading what he refers to in such bitter terms, i. e. the propaganda of the Communists contained in each is- sue of the DAILY WORKER. Joseph A. Wise draws $58.05 per week as a linotype operator in the DAILY WORKER composing room and up-to-date he has never, upon re- ceiving his check, manifested any curiosity as to the source of the funds with which he is paid. It might be well to say here that Joseph A. Wise, previous to his em- ployment by the DAILY WORKER, has spent most of his life in the com- posing rooms of capitalist sheets and that nowhere in the archives of the labor movement is there any record of his indulging in specific criticism of the capitalist papers in whose serv- ice he was. Two reasons for this life- time of silence concerning the mis- deeds of the capitalists can be glean- ed from his recent attack on William Z. Foster and the Communists. First, Joseph A. Wise is a believer in capi- talism; so much so, that he is proud of his record of defending it as a member of its armed forces. In the second place, he knows that anything approaching in venom his attack on the Communists, made on a capitalist newspaper, would be met with instant discharge. The Communists, however, are the target of attack on the part of every hanger-on of American capi- AS WE (Continued from Page 1.) for their organizations. It should be remembered however, that George L. Berry, president of the International \Pressmen’s Union is the real boss of that union. The local members should not be blamed too harshly. Berry has broken more than one strike called by the New York pressmen and with the aid of stool pigeons, forced the men back to work after bringing in scabs to man the presses. Giving a card to a Prince is not the worst thing that notorious faker has done. * J . ENERAL Foch, the French butch- er, is also honorary member of an American trade union, the brick- layers, I believe, and. His Honorable Fatness “Bill Taft” was given a card in the Hodcarriers’ Union. Perhaps Coolidge might yet organize a Strike- breakers’ Union and make a fortune selling membership cards at Secretary of Labor Davis did organizing the Loyal Order of the Moose. It would not be surprising if Samuel Gompers gave Coolidge a charter if he ever or- ganizes such a union. He helped break the strike that made Calvin famous. . . . ‘HE Chinese situation is getting clearer every day. The names are not showing any improvement but we venture to predict that before the capitalists get thru with China you will be able to read the signs on.your laundry checks. The linguistic difficul- ties do not bother our master class. In a manifesto which appears today in this paper, the British Commun- ist Party’ shows who's who in the scrimmage. Our bewhiskered friend Charles Evans Hughes is backing up Wu Pei Fu as we have already stat- ed, and so is the Ramsay MacDonald government, while Japan is’ behind the Manchurian war lord, General Chang. Sun Yat Sen, the leader of Southern China, stands for progress and the rights of the workers. We are rooting for Sun Yat Sen. . . . EB spies and agents provocateur of the British government were never busier than at this moment. We find them causing trouble in Persia, financing revolts against the Emir of Afghanistan, plotting rebellions in Georgia and trying to embroil Turkey against Soviet Russia. British agents are also busy in China. The British imperialists realize that Soviet Russia is the only great power that stands betweén the exploited peoples of the Orient and the capitalist robbers who own the British Empire, hence the plottings. But Soviet Russia has a good information system and most of the plots get nipped in the bud and likewise the Plotters. *. . . his NEW LEADEn, official organ of the Independent Labor Party of Britain, mi 4 vicious attack on A.

Wise, one of those de- luded workers who cause the hearts of the big bosses to rejoice and whom they love to refer to as a “typical American workingman,” feels it quite | safe to join in the chorus. We, Communists, would Joseph A. Wise a little more seriously, at least, we would give him credit for sincerity, if it were not for that $58.05 check which he receives every week from the organization he claims to believe is a menace to everything he professes to hold dear, The crowning proof of the Gompers- inepired and hypocritical character of the document to which Joseph A. Wise has signed his name, is contain- ed in the facts above set forth—that Joseph A. Wise gets his living from the money raised by the Communist movement of America; that he aids in disseminating propaganda in which he does not believe; that he does it for pay and that for $58.05 per week he is willing to swallow any opinions he may hold. Joseph A. Wise is still employed by the DAILY WORKER and will con- tinue to be so employed just as long as he does his work—the direct con- trary of what his fate would be on even the most liberal capitalist sheet. Communist propaganda, dealing as it does with the vital problems of the working class, offering the only solu- tion of these problems, does not de- teriorate simply because thé medium thru which it reaches the workers is handled by an enemy. This seems to us to be the one aspect of the problem which Joseph A. Wise, workingman and staunch defender of capitalism against the as- saults of the class to which he be- longs, has failed to consider. SEE IT By T. J. O'FLAHERTY. Piece of the Labor government as the London Daily Herald is the organ of the Trade Union Congress. The I. L. P. organ regrsts that the miners un- der Cook did not take the same broad view of things as they did in the early days of the war under other leadership, when their leaders declar- ed that they would not seck an in- crease in wages if the workers in oth- er industries could be restrained from making demands, while the “country was in danger.” r Se ERHAPS some of our readers think that we are too hard on the leaders of the British Labor Party. In fact, one reader who considers himself more or less of a Communist, objected to putting Ramsay MacDon- ald, the beneficiary of Sir Alexander Grant, in the same category as Albert B. Fall, one of the leading grafters in the Harding cabinet and receiver of the Doheny satchel. But when the official organ of the British socialists openly take up the cudgels for the Dawes plan and denounce the miners’ leaders for opposing it, it appears to us that anybody who could defend such action, belongs with Coolidge and Dawes. That worthy pair could not be more concerned about’ the in- terests of the capitalists than the so- cialists. BS gt TR e8 pe is having trouble with her subjects in Guadeloupe, an island in the Carribean’ Sea. Two bombs were recently set off near the prison where a Negro deputy and “agitator” was imprisoned. Note that every man or woman who stands up for free- dom is given the title of “agiator” by the capitalist press. But it is a title that every rebel should be proud of. Liberals sometimes pay tribute to the benevolence of French colonial rule. Bosh! French rule is no different to the rule of any other exploiting na- tion, neither is its purpose any dif- ferent. . . * Cy is staying on the job in Washington these days, his press agent tells us.

Dak., Sept. 25.— take/ Ten per cent, compounded semianu- ally, is the seat of the pain in the northwestern states, according to a Dickey county farmer whose forehead is plowed into deep furrows by mort- gage worries. Nearly all farmers in this region, both tenants and owners, are paying 10 per cent interest com- pounded semi-anually to some money- lender or other. If they don’t pay, it is because a sheriff's sale of their land or goods writes the last chapter on their farming. A local lawyer esti- |mates that 50 per cent of the owners in this section will give up their hold- ings to banks this year. Bankers Feel Fine. Bankers are declared the principal beneficiaries of President Coolidge’s farm loan scheme. In some cases it is manipulated so that the bank gets government money at 6 per cent and immediately reloans to the farmer at 10 per cent. Crops are not bad but proceeds gravitate to the moneylender. Prison Labor Foe Will Go to Senate From S. Carolina CHARLESTON, S. C., Sept. 25.— Cole L, Blease, former governor of South Carolina, who was nominated for the U.

During several strikes Blease’ refus- ed to furnish state troops for protect- ing strikebreakers. When asked \to protect a carload of strikebreakers he jran the car into the penitentiary, say- jing that they would get completely adequate protection there. Ottawa’s Fashion Plate Show Will Greet the Prince OTTAWA, Ont., Sept. 25.—The fash- ionable stratum of the Canadian capt tol was buzzing today with specula- tion upon the American girls and wo- men would. be who will be invited to the ball to be given in the government house here on the night of October 17 for the Prince of Wales. Governor-General and Lady Byng are to be the hosts. It is known that his royal highness would not be at all displeased to see among the guests some of the per- sons of the fashionable set he met during his recent holiday at Syosset, Long Island. Wales will spend October 16, and 18 in Ottawa on his return trip from his ranch at High River. Will Test Solon's Cider.
